Cosmofarm has been authorized and endorsed by Greece’s National Organization for Medicines under Good Distribution Practices to distribute over-the-counter pharmaceuticals, natural and health food supplements, as well as branded and generic medicines.”

ICC International Cannabis Corp (OTCMKTS:KNHBF) frames itself as a company that engages in the cannabis business in Canada and internationally.

It holds a license to cultivate, manufacture, supply, hold, import, export, and transport cannabis and derivative products; and engages in procuring and distributing medical cannabis products and cannabis derivatives.

ICC International Cannabis Corp. has a strategic alliance with GreenTree International Inc. The company was formerly known as Kaneh Bosm BioTechnology Inc. and changed its name to ICC International Cannabis Corp. in September 2018.

ICC International Cannabis Corp. was incorporated in 2006 and is headquartered in Vancouver, Canada.
